Which are totally valid options.And your calculations are not at all relevant for the situation. Any more than it was helpful for people to claim Scorching Burst was broken because it can do 9d6+36 damage at 1st level.True - just the ones using flails, spears, light blades, or the ones not taking Sweeping Blow (particularly those who aren't using a heavy blade, pick, flail, or axe). I just feel bad for the poor saps suckered into taking Crushing Blow.It is, however, in the hands of those with the right weapons, the best fighter single target damage attack. At all levels. Daily or Encounter.Very few problems cause games to collapse - we've had characters who used polymorph tricks to become unkillable to most enemies in 3e and it didn't collapse the game. It certainly edged the game in that direction, though.As an interesting litmus test, not only would a level 30 demigod flail fighter still have Rain of Blows, his level 3 power, but he's got a very good chance of using it every round as his choice of attack (if he's not spamming a stun power, mostly)</blockquote>
